Your syntax is almost right... you haven't told the interpreter what to do with {ENTER} though.

Send("{TAB 15}{ENTER}")
Send("{TAB 36}{ENTER}")
Send("{TAB 30}{ENTER}")oÝ÷ ØZ+jëh«bë£"&m²è zËmâjíߺw-í«jvÞ~§v)ííöÛJÞæ¬zíè^âáÓÒb¢é]iËnjYr©¶¬¢w¥wºÚ"µÍÙ[

But you may want to stick to the 3 lines, and actually may end up sticking a Sleep(xxx) after the Send commands, I've found that they can happen quite quick. (or play with the Opt + SendKeyDelay)

Send("^{TAB}")

No, that is control Tab:

The help file:

The "Send" command syntax is similar to that of ScriptIt and the Visual Basic "SendKeys" command. Characters are sent as written with the exception of the following characters:

'!'

This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore Send("This is text!a") would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a".

N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and ALT keys, i.e. "!A" is different to "!a". The first says ALT+SHIFT+A, the second is ALT+a. If in doubt, use lowercase!

'+'

This tells AutoIt to send a SHIFT keystroke, therefore Send("Hell+o") would send the text "HellO". Send("!+a") would send "ALT+SHIFT+a".

'^'

This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore Send("^!a") would send "CTRL+ALT+a".

N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and CTRL keys, i.e. "^A" is different to "^a". The first says CTRL+SHIFT+A, the second is CTRL+a. If in doubt, use lowercase!

'#'

The hash now sends a Windows keystroke; therefore, Send("#r") would send Win+r which launches the Run dialog box.

Therefore:

Send("!{Tab}")

Read the help file more thoroughly, you will find 95% of the answers in there and best of all, you will get the answers much quicker. Don't be afraid to ask a question, just make sure you take the time to look for the answer yourself before asking it, otherwise the answer doesn't seem worth that much and you never end up familiarizing yourself with the helpfile.

For automating browsing, I might suggest the IE.au3 function that can be found in the 3.2.2.0 release of the help file.

where can i find the 3.2.2.0 help file?

If you've downloaded 3.2.2.0 Autoit, look in the AutoIt folder for the help .chm?
